corbata por 5 pesos

hey

so this week was good. we had people at church and had fun working. well some cool thigs happend this week. so here we go.

niños dios: i dont know if this is just a mexico thing or a world wide cathlic thing. but here the people have a baby jesus statue that they dress up evry febuary. they dress them in all kinds of special outfits. then on the 2nd of febuary they take the ¨"baby God" in their basket to the mass in the night. and they present the little baby to the virgen. it kind of freaked me out seeing hundreds of people walking to the church with little fake baby jesus in their baskets. i saw one guy standing outside of a church with the baby raised over his head like in the lion king when they present Simba to the whole pride. its pretty funny how people just dont understand that in the 10 commandments it says to not worship images. like a lot of people say here " evryone has their way to do things"

bici: so i havnt told you this before but in my area i have seen this same guy riding his bike arround for a while. not real surprizing no? but the intresting thing is that he has one leg. yup. one leg. he is missing the whole other one from the hip down. not a lie. and he gets around pretty good. i was pretty impressed and still am. i have yet to see that in the states. props to that old fool.

corbata por 5 pesos: so this isnt too rare here in mexico. but its still pretty good. so this week i found two amazingly great deals on ties. one tie i found on the street. some guy put oout his stuff on the ground and i saw this sick blue and orange tie. its an ING tie. so i bought it. 10 pesos. less than a dollar! i was pretty stoked. so i wore it to church and thhis member told me that he has been loking for that tie for years cuz it costs 400 pesos in ING. that made me even more happy.

so i also found a sweet blue tie that i absolutly love also on the street for 5 pesos. about 40 cents. im pretty sure i will never buy ties ever again in the states. ill just come to mexico to but all my ties.

los cambios: so last night we called to find out a bout changes. and i knew it was coming. im getting changed. Im going to the Zone Culuacan. but the zone leaders didnt ask well enough and i dont know what ward im going to. i guess i will just ask my new companion whats up? so i was kind of ready to leave this area. i have been here since august. 6 months. i kind of got board of the area. it would have been cool to be with my kid another change so i could teach him more but what are you gonna do.

court: whats up? are you too cool to write me now that you are going to go to BYUH? love ya. write me.

lifes a garden dig it. im sure diggin it. love ya lots keep in touch.
